Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 19, 1907.

Application filed July 1. 1907. Serial No. 381,704.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY LLOYD MEN- DAL, a citizen of the United States, residing at 414 WVest Eighth street, Cincinnati, county of Hamilton, State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Frying-Pan, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to frying pans or broilers.

My device consists in a frying pan or vessel for the purpose of cooking meats fish or any substance in a pan or utensil so constructed as to force the smoke, steam, or odor from the substance (while in the process of cooking) into the flue of the chimney.

in upper part of utensil, and D. apertures in lower part of utensil.

The apertures C, are for the purpose of allowing a current of air to enter utensil. Apertures D. are for the purpose of allowing 'remains above the top of stove.

smoke, steam, or odor to escape into the fire-box of stove. E. the cover prevents smoke or steam rising from the vessel.

The 0 eration is as follows :As the vessel is placed over fire of stove, the lower part of vessel marked B. is let down in fire-box of stove. The upper part of vessel marked A. The cover E. being placed over top of vessel when in use. As soon as the cover is in place the draft of the chimney will force a continuous circulation of air through the vessel, taking in air through the apertures marked O. passing out through the apertures marked D. into the fire-box of the stove thence into the flue of the chimney.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure as Letters Patent is In a covered frying pan a body part provided with a projecting flange and adapted to fit into the fire box of the stove, a rim projecting upwardly from said flange, apertures in the rim, and other apertures in the body portion opening into the fire box, the apertures in the rim and body being placed opposite to each other as for the purposes set forth.
